The Denver defense expects the Oakland Raiders to rely on their rushing attack with QB Derek Carr (leg) out.

The Raiders ran for 218 yards in the first meeting between these AFC West rivals and will look to repeat that performance on Sunday. "That definitely should (anger) the D-line and linebackers and everybody up front to be able to know that they could pound us," cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Denver is 29th in the NFL in run defense and has surrendered 177 rushing yards per game over the last four weeks. The Broncos D/ST will be a top-10 fantasy option at home against the Raiders in Week 17. Thu, Dec 29, 2016 09:44:00 PM

Denver will be without linebacker Brandon Marshall (hamstring) when they host New England in Week 15.

The Broncos gave up 180 rushing yards in Week 14 without Marshall and now face a far more effective offense in the New England Patriots, who own the NFL's seventh-ranked rushing attack. Corey Nelson will start again in Marshall's place. The Broncos D/ST has been a solid fantasy contributor in 2016 but will be a back-end top-12 fantasy option this week at home against the Patriots.

The Denver defense will welcome the return of CB Aqib Talib (back) and DE Derek Wolfe (elbow) on Sunday when the Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs.

"It’s almost like sticking Michael Jackson, Prince, John Legend, sticking everybody in a rock band and telling them to sing," outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware said on Friday. The Denver defense is finally getting healthy, and fantasy owners of the Broncos D/ST should expect healthy point totals down the stretch. The Broncos D/ST will be a safe top-10 fantasy option at home against Kansas City in Week 12 and will feast on Jacksonville and QB Blake Bortles in Week 13. Sat, Nov 26, 2016 05:23:00 PM

Denver's defense will be short on cornerbacks in Week 9 as CB Kayvon Webster (hamstring) has been ruled out.

Webster's absence is in addition to the loss of CB Aqib Talib (back) and will test the depth of the Denver secondary. CB Bradley Roby is expected to start on Sunday at Oakland, and CB Taurean Nixon has been promoted from the practice squad as a result of the injuries. The Broncos D/ST will still be a top-10 fantasy option in Week 9, but may have more trouble in pass defense than normal. Sat, Nov 5, 2016 06:24:00 PM
